He entered the hotel, and discovered that he was in Burmont, a town some twenty miles from the village of Brookdale. It was late in the evening, Harry was tired. He registered at the hotel.
The old-fashioned room seemed luxurious after the miserable shack in which he had spent two nights. Harry decided not to notify any one where he was until the next day. Then he could go back to Brookdale.
Would it be wise to tell what had happened? What excuse should he make for his absence?
These were perplexing questions. Harry decided that they could best be answered after a good night’s rest. The morning would be the time for action.
Then he would have an opportunity to communicate with The Shadow.
